Gun ownership is not what’s wrong with America.

I haven’t posted anything in a long while, and I have so many feelings swirling around in my head right now that, well, here I am. First off, as a mother of four very young children, my heart breaks for

The balancing act: wanting it “all” for our kids.

And by “wanting it all”, I don’t mean material goods.  We don’t even have cable, and I’m not about to buy my kids an XBox or anything like that.  I am a worrier, and I grew up uninvolved with my

Shrugging: efforts in frugality.

Ellis and I have always lived beneath our means, but that wasn’t saying much when we lived in the city and both worked at lucrative jobs.  Now that we live in the boonies and our income is only a fraction

Review: GG&G EOTech Quick Detach Lever

I must admit I was misled in reading the specifications for the GGG-1016 Quick Detach mount for a PVS-14 night vision scope and thought this was a more substantial base for the EOTech to raise it up to be in line
